The Sound of Music at Ohio Theatre

Following its 1959 premiere, it became clear that Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s very last creation alongside playwrights Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, was destined for global success.

A musical with a more sizable amount of adored numbers is yet to be written; a production that can remain as relevant and cherished for nearly seven decades as ‘The Sound Of Music’ does not exist; and a tale as wholesome, yet filled with major social issues, is yet to be created.

No other musical has been revisited as many times, had more performances around the globe, and has been received with as much triumph as ‘The Sound Of Music’. It landed no less than five Tony Awards, a Theatre World Award, and an Outer Critics Circle Special Award, alongside many nominations. ‘The Sound Of Music’ has also been adapted into an award-winning film featuring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, still being enjoyed to this day.

‘The Sound Of Music’, inspired by Maria von Trapp’s ‘The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, follows the tale of Maria, a free-spirited nun, who after stepping in as the governess of the seven children of Captain Georg von Trapp, brings back music and happiness to the family. The family is faced with many adversities - from the imminent Nazi-threat brought about by the Anschluss to the inevitable romance between Captain von Trapp - an engaged-to-be-married man, and Maria, a nun.

The truth is that there is plenty to love about ‘The Sound Of Music’: from the unbelievable expertise of the oldest nun right down to the youngest Von Trapp child, to the ageless, delightful music that you’ll remember for years to come; from the lush sounding orchestra to the stunningly handcrafted sets that float effortlessly from a grey cathedral to the old Austrian grandeur of the Von Trapp house; from the nostalgic tale about overcoming hardship and wonderful tale of love, resilience, and music to the powerhouse cast that carries their roles with perfection, delivers the music with proficiency, and steals hearts from the moment the curtain rises.

They were right: the world is indeed alive with ‘The Sound Of Music’.
